Temperature dependence of distortion-product otoacoustic emissions in tympanal organs of locusts.
Distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) in tympanal organs of insects are vulnerable to manipulations that interfere with the animal's physiological state. Starting at a medium temperature, we raised and lowered the locust's body temperature within the range of 12 to 35°C by changing the temperature of the surrounding air, while recording DPOAEs. These experimental manipulations resul...
متن کاملMeasurement of sensitive distortion-product otoacoustic emissions in insect tympanal organs.
In a recent paper in The Journal of Experimental Biology, Moir and colleagues did not find evidence for DPOAEs in the motion of the locust typanum (Moir et al., 2011). Insects with tympanal organs produce sensitive DPOAEs (distortion-product otoacoustic emissions), as shown in locusts, several moth species and bushcrickets (for a review, see Kössl et al., 2008). Their characteristics are largel...
متن کاملMechanical tuning of the moth ear: distortion-product otoacoustic emissions and tympanal vibrations.
The mechanical tuning of the ear in the moth Empyreuma pugione was investigated by distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) and laser Doppler vibrometry (LDV). DPOAE audiograms were assessed using a novel protocol that may be advantageous for non-invasive auditory studies in insects. To evoke DPOAE, two-tone stimuli within frequency and level ranges that generated a large matrix of valu...
متن کاملDistortion product otoacoustic emissions in tinnitus patients.
Tinnitus is a symptom that affects a great number of patients. Its diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up are difficult, owing to its subjectivity. The authors propose the use of distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) in tinnitus evaluation. They studied three groups: controls, having no complaint of tinnitus and normal hearing; group 1, presenting tinnitus and normal audiometry; and gr...
متن کاملSensitivity of distortion product otoacoustic emissions in noise-exposed chinchillas.
The present study investigates the effect of small amounts of outer hair cell (OHC) loss on distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) levels and evoked potential permanent threshold shifts (PTS) in a population of 12 noise-exposed chinchillas. The group mean DPOAE level, which decreased by up to approximately 15 dB in the presence of less than 8 dB PTS and 15% OHC loss, indicates that DPO...
